Sweden is the largest country in Scandinavia, but it is the country that best represents the soul of the region. Vast expanses of forests, many lakes and very warm towns and wooden houses in which one would like to spend a whole winter.
Stockholm, the inevitable Swedish capital
This city is not only an imposing Swedish capital. A city made up of fourteen islands and colorful buildings. We love to get lost in the streets of the city center. But also to escape to the suburbs to spend some good time in a cozy café.
The most beautiful cities of Southern Sweden
Malmö, the southern city
She is often criticized or criticized. Some even compare it to a suburban city. Indeed, its proximity to Copenhagen may be a substantial handicap. In general, locals may be tempted to relocate to go to the town that will offer them the most perspective and a better quality of life.
Gothenburg, the other big city
The second-largest city of Sweden is a bit like Barcelona where Lyon. That is to say that there is not a specific architecture, not perspective, Goteborg, it is a city to live, far from the classicism of Stockholm. When you will visit the city, you will be able to admire the few channels of the town or stroll through the pedestrian areas. In short, you’ll understand we come to Gothenburg above all with friends, to drink and party in Swedish. The only downside is the price of hotels or youth hostels. The amount of a bed in a dormitory in a “hostel” costs in the 30 euros, for cons one night at the hotel should be rather around 120 euros. The solution may be to take a double room in a hostel. The rates will then more reasonable.
Lund, a pretty student town
Just a stone’s throw from Malmö is the charming town of Lund, a vibrant student town full of little cafes. Easily accessible if you are driving from the city of Copenhagen, this city will delight travelers wishing to put their suitcases for a few days. For the summary, Lund is a lovely city on a human scale.
The most beautiful cities in the north of the country
Pitea, a lost city in northern Sweden
Before being a beautiful city, Pitea offers a great experience. In this city, one immediately feels here that the winter conditions are challenging. Nearby there is a large lake that allows foggy phenomena during sunrise and sunset. In all cases, Pitea is a city that is quietly dedicated to those who know how to take their time. The main artery is a paved and sloping pedestrian street. The main street is a place where we meet some people sometimes.
The cities not to be missed in the center of the country
Alvros, a kind of Scandinavian charm
Alvros is a very small town in the center of Sweden between the cities of Ostersund and Mora. The point of interest is, first of all, its church and a little traditional house open to the public.
The cities of the west coast of Sweden, Bohuslan
The west coast of Sweden is known to be one of the most beautiful places in the country. This coastal region is called Bohuslan, and it starts near Gothenburg to finish at the Norwegian border.
Marstrand
This city is a pretty posh seaside resort that is three-quarters of an hour from Stockholm by car. What is remarkable are the many small islands and the granite coast bordered by the Baltic Sea.
Skärhamn
On an island north of Marstrand is the town of Shärhamn. A seaside resort in full expansion. Formerly this city was a small fishing village, but today the buildings are gaining more and more land on the coast.
